Publisher's Description

In The Best of A.W. Tozer Book One we find that Warren Wiersbe compiled a fantastic amount of writings to show us once again that Tozer had a gift from God. This collection of 52 favorite chapters of Tozer's writings highlight that as A.W. Tozer said, "I guess my philosophy is this: Everything is wrong until God sets it right."

These writings represent the major themes from the works of A.W. Tozer and each reveals deep, refreshing insight, conviction, and originality of thought. From Let My People Go to The Pursuit of God, Tozer's books were always written after long hours of meditation and prayer. Perhaps this explains their wide circulation and lasting influence.

Author Bio

A.W. TOZER began his lifelong pursuit of God at the age of seventeen after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio. A self-taught theologian, Tozer was a pastor, writer and editor whose powerful use of words continues to grip the intellect and stir the soul of today's reader. Among his best-loved books are the classics The Pursuit of God and The Attributes of God.

WARREN W. WIERSBE (Th.B., Northern Baptist Seminary; D.D., Trinity Evangelical Divinity School), former pastor of the Moody Church and general director of Back to the Bible, has traveled widely as a Bible teacher and conference speaker. Because of his encouragement to those in ministry, Dr. Wiersbe is often referred to as "the pastor's pastor." He has authored over 150 books including Ministering to the Mourning, The Wiersbe Bible Commentary, On Being a Servant of God, and the "Be" series. Dr. Wiersbe and his wife, Betty, live in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I thoroughly enjoy reading A. W. Tozer and find him one of the most profound Christian authors of the modern era. To find someone comparable, one has to go back nearly one hundred years. As one studies his work, one can sense the teaching of the Holy Spirit flowing from the writings of this dear saint of God.

Thanks for Warren Wiersbe who compiled this excellent selection of deep thought provoking topics. He brings us from the mundane to a higher devotion to God in ways not thought of or grasped before. Even though written over 40 years ago he was somewhat of a prophet about the Christianity we are living or not living today.
